Tempura 1-day Tours

This tour was an absolute blast! Amber was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. We explored parts of Harajuku and Meiji Shrine that we would never have discovered on our own. Amber went above and beyond to learn about our food preferences and led us to some amazing shops along the way. Her generosity was evident when she held our drinks while we explored the shops. We sampled so many exciting foods—I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide, Nicola, did a great job explaining the Geisha district and its history and culture. He appropriately adapted the pace for our mobility-challenged guest. The family-run izakaya for dinner had tasty, local food and sake. I would recommend!

Nice tour through Harajuku and the surroundings. The start at Meji Temple was incredible, and the Yakiniku afterwards made it worth it. Our luck with the weather wasn’t the best, so a bit of the charm of the area was missing. Be prepared to point out at things you want to try along the main road as there are so many, and all delicious. Chisato our guide was knowledgeable and great fun to chat to. We look forward to more tours.

A very personal and welcoming experience that felt more like visiting locals than joining a tour. Enjoying matcha and wagashi alongside live shamisen music was a highlight. The hosts shared stories about the area that made the meal feel meaningful. The atmosphere was calm, intimate, and authentic. A lovely choice for travelers seeking cultural connection rather than typical tourist activities.

This experience combined local Shizuoka dishes with cultural elements in a warm, relaxed setting. The hosts were friendly and communicated well in English, making it easy to follow along. The shamisen performance added a special cultural touch to the meal. The food felt homemade and rooted in the region. It works especially well when paired with other nearby sightseeing.

Had a private tour with Michiko from Omakase Tour. Recommend 100%. Went to three shrines, the Nishki market for lunch at a fish stall, then finished it up at Nijo Castle before heading back to Osaka. Thank you, Michiko!

Akira was amazing. We had never been to Japan and he made us feel like we belonged. He showed us two amazing restaurants and so much shopping. I would absolutely recommend him for this tour. I had so much fun on this tour and would book again without hesitation

Bruce H. was a great guide for a newcomer to Fukuoka. Best tempura I had during my whole trip! Bruce was interested in explaining life in Japan and answering every little question. Walking the streets of the city was fun with someone so knowledgeable. His tour made for a really nice afternoon.

We had a great time on our food tour! Our guide was friendly and informative. There was so much food, not just sampling but a full meal followed by sweet treats. We would definitely recommend.

Our host, Toshi, did an excellent job touring us around Kamakura. She takes her time to explain the shrines, temples and local sites. She provides insight into the culture and history that you would not get if you were visiting on your own. Lastly, she was a very pleasant and kind person who went out of her way to make our tour special. We, Dave, Deron, and I thank you and would love to visit again using her tour service for our next time in Kamakura.

Jorge speaks 4 major languages and knows the backstreets of Kanazawa. Amiable, entertaining, and flexible. Will adapt to customers’ needs. He has very interesting and thorough information. Suggestions: carry a flashlight and be able to walk a lot. Food was a different preparation and good example of Japanese cuisine.

We participated in the tour as a family of four, including our two children aged four and six. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sushi, grilled meat, and desserts, leaving us all happily full. Although our two energetic sons were a bit noisy at times, Mr. Hamada, our guide, was very kind and accommodating. It was especially appreciated that children could join for free, truly making it a kid-friendly tour. It was also excellent to learn about the halal restaurants. Experiencing the local atmosphere of Asakusa made this a memorable tour. I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re traveling with children or not.
